AFL FANTASY TAKE

Cavarra was a popular target at the beginning of the fantasy season back in March, unfortunately the Bulldogs had limited Inside 50s in Round 1 against the Magpies which starved him of opportunities. 

Cavarra isn’t considered as a trade target until he returns to the Bulldogs team in season long fantasy, his scoring will continue to be an issue playing as a small forward.
